Composition

"Sound of Your Heart" is a pop and pop rock song written by Todd Clark, Shawn Hook, and Stephen Kozmeniuk about the pain of missing someone you love.

The song's sound has been described as "dark" and "lush".[2] Hook plays the piano on the track.[3] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com through EMI Music Publishing, the song is composed in the key of F♯ minor and set in common time to a "moderately fast" tempo of approximately 122 BPM.[4] The vocals span two octaves from C♯4 through C♯6.[4]
